P H writes > INDIGENOUS PRETENDERS
In 1840, the South Island lay practically deserted.
Ngai Tahu had been first weakened by the Kai Huaka (Eat Relation) feud, then practically wiped out by Te Rauparaha, who drove the remnants of the tribe away south of Kaiapoi.
Edward Shortland's 1846 census found some 2, 500 Ngai Tahu, resident at several coastal locations.
To suggest that 2, 500 people lived on; cultivated; or hunted and gathered over more than 13 million hectares of land is arrant nonsense.
By the 1860s, Ngai Tahu numbers had declined to around 1. 600, of whom one-third were already half-castes.
I’ll say it again.
One-third were already half-castes.
When the Crown made its final land purchases of the area at the bottom of the South Island and of Stewart Island, it was obliged to make separate provision of reserves for half-castes, who were not at that time regarded by full-bloods as tribal members.
There are now more than 1 million people residing in the South Island.
The fraction of Maori blood present in anyone claiming to be "Ngai Tahu" is clearly negligible in determining that individual's ethnic make-up.
Fakes and frauds claiming ‘victimhood’ on the part of their minority genes, the lot of them.
For instance, Stephen O'Regan and Sandra Lee are 1/16 Maori.
The story is told of O'Regan literally going home from Victoria University of Wellington in the 1970s on a Friday as "Stephen" and coming back on Monday as "Tipene."
As long-time friend from their university days, Sir Robert Jones, often jokes, “I knew Steve before he was a ‘Maori.’”
Not long ago, O’Regan came through Christchurch International Airport and showed his passport, which was in the name of Stephen Gerard O'Regan.
The immigration officer said, "I thought you were Tipene O'Regan" whereupon this arch fraud winked and said: "Sometimes I am Tipene and other times I am Stephen.”
When his father, Wellington surgeon and former Communist Party of New Zealand luminary [sic], Rolland O'Regan, was in the old people's home, Stephen visited him.
The nurse came to Doctor O'Regan and said, "Your son, Tipene, is here to see you,"
Old O'Regan started calling out in a loud voice that could be heard all along the corridor, "I have no son called Tipene. I know no Tipene. Take him away.”
O'Regan is a fraud (one-sixteenth Maori) who has ripped off the taxpayer big time and has made MILLIONS of dollars out of the Treaty industry even though he is not even ethnically "Maori" but a New Zealander of primarily Irish descent.
Another account is told of Stephen and his daughter Hana (like me 1/32 Ngai Tahu) having dinner with Sir Robert Jones at his Wellington home.
Sir Robert asked Hana what she planned to do after graduating university.
"Work for our people!" he was told.
"Oh, you mean the Irish"? volunteered Sir Robert innocently.
Ngai Tahu were not even the first Maori inhabitants of the South Island.
Hardly surprising, since land changed "owners" frequently before 1840, particularly after the coming of the musket, the iron hatchet, and the tupara, as one group of bullyboys repeatedly superseded another.
When Ngai Tahu speak of Mt Cook as a "revered ancestor" it must have been an ancestor of comparatively recent adoption, because Ngai Tahu originally came from the East Cape of the North Island.
After migrating south to present-day Wellington, they crossed the Cook Strait around 1790 to colonise the South Island by exterminating Kati Mamoe and Waitaha, its previous inhabitants.
All this modern-day spiritual hokum about "I whakapapa to this mountain" or "to that river" is dreamed up to make whitey feel guilty for his "cultural insensitivity " and hand over large sums of money to make his "guilt" go away.
Asserting that Mt Cook is an ancestor is simply thieves trying to put their claim to the proceeds of robbery and murder beyond doubt.
I repeat: fakes and frauds. Taxpayer-funded barely-brown indigenous pretenders best described as "Pakeha with delusions of ethnicity" and laughing all the way to the bank.
